I love Martha Stewart's Punches.

Fence Edger border punch #unknown (fall of 2008)  
 

 
This is another that's a little tricky with the flip over and reverse, then continue punching.

   
Hydrangeas border punch #42-400019

This one was a little tricky because it wasn't just a flip over and continue punching.
It was a flip over and reverse design.

Doily Lace border punch

For this design I lined up my ruler to run through the middle of the bottom dots and
then matched up the dots on the punch.

Scallop Dot border punch

For this design I lined up my ruler below the dots leaving about 1/10"
then used the pencil line technique on the punch. This is a great design to add cross hatch or zig zag stitching

Both this design and the first one use the pencil line on punch technique. You might notice that the dots on this one are above each other whereas in the first design, the scallops & dots are alternating.
 

For this design I lined up my ruler to run through the middle of the bottom dots and
then matched up the dots on the punch. This is a great design to add ribbon threaded through the holes.

Diamonds Emboss Edge border punch #230371

I think this is my least favorite of my punches, although after running my stamp pad
over the high points and thermal embossing, it's not that bad.

On the green one I used the pencil on punch technique, and on the red one I ran the ruler
in the middle of the bottom holes, then matched up the holes on the punch.
